Last issue I talked about how I “rediscovered” hydration and how important it was to how your body functions. Upon further research I found that it can take weeks to fully rehydrate yourself if you are chronically dehydrated.

I can’t believe how much of a difference it makes as I am still feeling the benefits of drinking more water. What are the benefits I notice? More fullness to the muscles, more energy, clearer thinking and less stress.

Those of you who are concerned about the health and appearance of your skin (and who isn’t) take note as well. Water is critical for skin health, in terms of maintaining the firmness and elasticity of your skin. Drinking more clean water will help your skin more than any other single thing!

Not bad for something as simple and available as clean water!

The summer is flying by and it’s hard to believe that Labor Day is just around the corner. My newest project will be to investigate ionic air cleaners. I had a positive experience with one many years ago, and want to see if I get the same result again.

I visited a friend and she had one in her home. I remembered thinking that it couldn’t be all that effective and was kind of a gimmick that “health nuts” were into, but lo and behold, when I got home I slept like a log that night!

It made me feel the same way as I do when I use a grounding pad. I had no way of knowing at that time about the benefits of negative ions, so I did not make the connection. However when I look back on it now, it makes perfect sense.

My thinking is that if you can create an environment in your home that is abundant in negative ions, you would have a less stressful more health supporting living space. I am looking at ionizers now and in the coming weeks will hopefully have a recommendation for a unit that is reasonable priced and of course is a good quality one, so stay tuned.

Diabetes is a disease that is reaching epidemic proportions especially in the US. We are now seeing it in children, something that was unheard of years ago. There is no question that all of the processed foods we eat are a factor in this disease.

Now you may be asking what diabetes has to do with antiaging. Well, keep in mind that inflammation is a huge factor in aging, and insulin is the most PRO-INFLAMMATORY hormone in the human body! Use of insulin will cause you to age faster, so you will want to minimize it by keeping blood sugar under control.

Even though insulin is necessary for life, chronically high levels of insulin can wreak havoc with your body, and contribute to all kinds of health problems. Insulin dependent diabetics thus have additional health problems due to their use if insulin.

Even if you are not a diabetic, you should try and keep your fasting blood sugar reading no higher than 70! Fasting glucose test measures your blood sugar when you arise in the morning. For every point above 70 your risk of heart disease goes up!

If you have diabetes or know anyone that does, I would recommend that you read this excellent book by Dr. Peter D’Adamo on using the blood type diet to treat diabetes. The book is called:

Written by the doctor who developed the concept of blood typing in nutrition, it is packed with valuable information that will help you make better food choices and help you keep blood sugar under control more effectively.

Most diabetes education programs emphasize low glycemic eating, but do not differentiate between the different blood types and their specific responses to certain foods.

Dr. D’Adamo addresses this critical factor and presents a plan for preventing and treating both type 1 and type 2 diabetes that is specific to each blood type. If you or a loved one is dealing with diabetes, you can’t afford to pass up the information in this book!

The link that I have posted is to the Kindle version for people who don’t live in the US. It is very easy to use Kindle books on your computer. All you need to do is to download the Kindle application.

The software installs on your computer and then you can buy and read Amazon Kindle books immediately. It’s very easy and convenient, and of course it saves you shipping charges, and having to wait for your book to arrive.

Loreena McKennitt is one of my favorite performers of what you would call “Celtic” music. Here she performs a musical adaptation of Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poem “The Lady of Shalott.” The poem was based on the legend of Camelot.

While I usually find cable documentary shows interesting and informative,
I’m getting really tired of the Mayan Calendar 2012 thing! It’s apparently
“Doomsday Month” on one of the cable channels and they are going on and on
about potential catastrophic events that could happen on Dec. 21, 2012.

To be sure there are some interesting facts they present, but I think this morbid
focus with “the end of the world” is just a ratings ploy, and as for me….I’m
pretty much “doomsdayed out!”

I suspect that you feel the same way! I would rather devote my attention to
things I can control and positive developments that will improve the quality of
life for us all. In fact, that’s what I strive to do with this newsletter.

I remember the last major sunspot activity we had was back in 2001, and as I
recall it had a minor effect on some satellites and cell phone communication, but
nothing “catastrophic” happened.

I anticipate that December 21, 2012 will be a day much like it has been throughout
the years, and the only “crisis” will be the mad last minute rush before Christmas, as
the procrastinators (like me) are scurrying around trying to get their shopping done.

True to my goal of offering you some good product recommendations for your
health, I have another gem for you. It’s one that you might have heard about and is
usually used by bodybuilders and other athletes. It’s called “creatine monohydrate.”

But creatine is not only for athletes and young people, but older people as well. In
fact it may be even more beneficial for people in their advancing years because it
helps maintain critical energy processes in your cells!

Studies have shown that 3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day are especially
good for people in middle age, to help safely boost energy levels. Normally you
would get some creatine in red meat, but many people restrict meat intake, and thus
don’t get enough creatine.

Creatine supplementation is a great way to get this energy building substance into
your system. It is a tasteless white powder that you can mix with juice, water, or in
a protein shake. This might even make a great “stocking stuffer” for Christmas!

You can purchase creatine monohydrate at any health food store or you can buy it
online. “German micronized creatine” is what you want. That is the best source. I
like to purchase my creatine from an online source called “Health-N-Sport.”

The owner of Health and Sport is Kim Carola. Kim is a mother of two, has a degree in
biochemistry, and is a personal trainer. She will be glad to answer your product
questions and help you pick the right product for your needs.

Although I have been a customer of theirs for years I have no affiliate relationship
with them, so I don’t get commissions when recommending their products. I just
think their products, service, and knowledge is first rate! Their prices are very
competitive as well.

In my last newsletter, I promised to share something that could help you make
some extra cash in addition to your full or part time job. Believe it or not, there are
many people doing just that on the Internet and it’s not all that hard once you know
how.

I put off publishing a newsletter for many years because I just didn’t “get it” in terms
of how valuable it could be. I found the whole concept intimidating and confusing,
so I didn’t pursue it. Recently I purchased a course recommended by a trusted
source (Sarah Staar).

The course was called Ezine Academy and was authored by a gentleman named
Martin Avis. Following Martin’s course enabled me to actually establish this
newsletter and start reaching a growing audience with it. Everything you could want
or need to know is included in this excellent course.

Most people who successfully do business online have a newsletter, and if you have
never thought of doing this yourself, or have considered it but didn’t know where or
how to start, I highly recommend Martin’s course. It allowed me to go from
absolutely refusing to do a newsletter because I had no idea of how to proceed, to
publishing a weekly newsletter with a growing subscriber base.

I am very particular about how I spend my money and also what I recommend to
other people. It is important to me that when someone purchases something I
recommend it provides real value for them. Thus I feel comfortable recommending
Martin’s course, because it will show you in plain language how to successfully set up
and publish a newsletter. There is also a 60 day money back guarantee on this
product!

Check out Ezine Academy and let me know if you have any questions, or if you do
purchase, I would like to have your feedback. I was VERY impressed with the
quality of this product and I think you will be too!

Ok, I have a movie recommendation for you. This film which was adapted from the
novel by Carl Sagan, originally came out in 1993 and it seems like people either like
it or they don’t. I thought it was a bit tedious in the beginning, but the ending more
than made up for that. It stars Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey.

Jodie Foster’s character (Alley Arroway) is modeled after Jill Cornell Tarter, the
woman who began SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence). In the storyline a
transmission is received from an alien race, with instructions for building a machine
that would allow a person to travel through space-time to a distant alien world.

Alley Arroway is chosen to go on this mission and ends up traveling through
space-time to a distant planet where she encounters an alien intelligence. After her
trip she is told that as far as anyone could determine she did not actually go
anywhere, and that she imagined the whole thing. She is then forced to defend her account of the “trip” in front of a Senate committee.

The scene in which she does that is a stunner, and really defines the meaning of the
word “faith.” I believe this film was beautifully acted by Foster, and did very much
have an emotional impact on me (I think there’s a pattern here -:D). It’s a film you
can watch with the whole family, as there is nothing objectionable in it. Check it out!

I will leave you with this quote from George Eliot……

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
